They could also just make the class sex specific, like in Warhammer Online where some Chaos classes can only be male and some Dark Elf classes only female. Makes no difference on the gameplay

I think the only real "reason this won't happen" (just imo) is mounts. Could it be done? yes, but it would be a fairly large animation design headache and I just don't see the devs signing up for that willingly. The armor really isn't that big of an issue, different armors have (in many cases quite large) variations in how they look on different classes, including the removal of parts of it (hooves and troll feet anyone? ever think its odd that the same armor can be equipped by a gnome and a tauren with no adjustment?) It's a wrapped graphic and can be altered dependant on the race, thats really no big deal as far as I can tell. They'd just have bands and loin drape type looks for the armor that would normally be boots and pants. Mounts on the other hand...well that looks like it would be a clipping nightmare to try to work out and would almost defintely cause them to have mount restrictions...we don't wanna go back to having mount restrictions :P
The lore could be done, the programming not so much.

It's not that bad, look back a ways for my solution to the mount problem, their jump could have them spinning up in the air in a "spring shape" to get off the ground when just standing and have them lunge foreward when moving, all the other animations are mostly there and in use.
There no problem with mount restrictions either, can a turan ride a flimsy little Hawkstrider? Then a Naga could DEFINATELY ride a Hawkstrider! Simple as that.

That takes the feel away from WoW, I've tried to solve the problem, and psiclone57 is right, Gameplay > Lore

I dont see how sex specific classes will take away the "feeling" of WoW?

Up untill your idea, everything has been equal, all classes could be played by either sex and either faction (post TBC) but yours would either make some male or females players very angery, depending on which the class went to. I don't think Blizzard would want to be accused of Sexism.

There'd be no sexism.
Simply put, males and female Naga would have a VERY slight difference in starting stat distribution.
Let's say....
Males: +3 Str, +4 Stam
Females: +2 Int, +4 Agi, +1 Spr
Actually, I prefer an idea once posted on the USA suggestion boards for a Horde Naga/Alliance Pandaren Great Sea expansion. It explains the existence of how Naga could possess druids, and the rise of the Runemaster class.
The idea was posted by Masslen and Clayskeleton... though mostly Clayskeleton, that guy's an awesome class maker.

I had an idea for a Dark Ranger/Shadow Hunter class (havn't decided on the name) that included it's own resource system, I'll post it in the Forums here soon.
But I agreee that Pandarians should be featured alongside them, two new Druid classes to the game would be a nice touch, I'm sick of Tauren and Night Elves being able to go around and be special like that!

20$ says Vrykul are the next Horde race, know why? Lore says they worship Arthas like hes a god,
25 people go in Icecrown Citadel, they kill Arthie. Vrykul are godless and defenseless, who do the turn to? None other then the band of people alliance hate. Teh Horde.
Classes: Warrior, Death Knight, Mage, Warlock, Shaman
They'd be a race of Dwarf Vrykul, then, if you havn't noticed they're a little big to fit into some buildings.

Last I checked even they were considerably smaller then Vrykul, or at least smaller by just enough to make them fit.

I think you're all headed off topic, this's about Naga so let's keep with it!

Dunno why I'm even trying to spread the word. In any case, most of my idea is referencing to the ideas from
here
. Sure, it's a bit dated, but the Naga idea is WAY solid. The Salvatius guy is amazingly well thought out. I'm probably rambling a bit.
